extensions L'/ paus senaat ro. wm; palm! @3b pairs opposite the poles, which are placement. These pinions are keyed upon the same shaftf, which is driven by means of the hand-wheel g. The aforesaid two rows of polar extensions each present in two diametiically opposite extensions headed screws h, guiding the latter while engaging grooves i, formed in the poles. In the position represented in Fig. 6 the two polar extensions of each pole are arranged one behind the other and exactly beneath the core.'- This is the normal position, the reluctance being then at the minimum. The inducing ampere-tu. ns being constant, the effective flux is at the maximum, and consequently in the case of a generating-machine the voltage will be at the maximum and in the case of a motor the speed will be at the minimum.

Fig. 7 represents in diagrammatic development the two rows of `th/e polar extensions of a six-pole dynamo. The cross-hatched aortions represent the extensions arrange in shown in dotted lines. This position corresponds to the normal'position represented in Fig. 6.

The diagram Fig. 8 shows the medium position of the extensions obtained merely by operating the hand-wheel g. The resulting displacement is effected by means of the pinions e s and of the toothed sectors d 7" in the direction indicated by the arrows. Moreover, the numbering of the displaced parts also 'gives a clear idea of the effect obtained. At this moment the reluctance is at its medium, the air-gap is increased by the whole of the part shown in dotted lines, and the voltage falls or the speed rises accordingly.

l, In the position represented diagrammatically in Fig. 9\ the reluctance is at the maximum, the air-'gap' occupying the whole of the part shown in dotted lines. Moreover, (and this is a special feature of the aforesaid nevel method,) the extensions magnetically connect two consecutive poles, creating a deviation Abetween these poles, and thereby causing a large dispersion of the flux. These two effects (i. e., the increase of the reluctance and dispersion of the flux) are cumulative and produce variations in large propor- 'l tions of the voltage and speed, respectively.

In order to obtain an improved commutation, the polar extensions b may be provided 'with rectangular orifices y', as represented in Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 1.3.` Figs. 10 and 11 are cross-sections through a four-pole dynamo. Fig. 12 is a developed plan, and Fig. 13 is a section through one of the polar extensions. The radially-arranged slots j lie across the path of the transverse lines of force produced y the ampere-turns of the armature, thereby g-reatl increasing the reluctance of the circuit o ered to them and diminishing pi oortionally the arm atuiereaction due to this ux. As a consequence of thus rendering thel armature reaction negligible the neutral point does not shift with varying loads.

Sparllcss comnutation is therefore cllccted without shifting the lxushes.

ln dynamos with circular poles, such as that represented in .le and 15 iii elevation and .in section, respectively, the cores arc provided with. iixcd rectangular extensions f, presenting in section the form indicated in Fig. 14. in cach side of the projection, serving to contain the head of the setscrew l, slide two 'rows of extensions assombled with the rings c, as in the cxample represented in Figs. 5 and 6.

From the foregoing it will be understood that this invention may be readily adapted to a dynamo of any existing type. This is a great advantage not allorded by any other known construction ol dynamo capable of variable voltage or variable speed.

To facilitate the displacement of the extensions Z), it is only necessary to leave between them and thc cores a small stratum of air, preventing the adhesion caused by magnetic attraction. Fig. 5 shows the small airspace o provided for this purpose. The bronze rings c are the only parts in contact with the said coresA ln this manner the mimimum adhesion is obtained with a non-magnetic 'me tal and at the same time a bettercoellicient of friction.

A modification consists in surface in contact with the core a thin antifriction-strip 1;),Figsl() and l1, of a metal which is non-magnetic and which causes very little friction.
